Boost on Supercharger?
How much boost does the Alpine unit produce? I think i saw it at 5psi [Z(x)orro] posted somewhere. Are there any other units producing more boost more like 7-9psi?
Or could you upgrade the boost on the Alpine unit by using a smaller pulley? Or would that work? What about a front mounted intercooler?
I'm thinking of nitrous oxide also. But are there any other ways?

It is about 5psi, you can increase the boost by using a pulley with a 2mm smaller diameter - atleast that what John at Alpine told me - not that he is my favourite person at the moment

Depending on the ratio's between the crank pulley and the SC pully, yes, it is possible to see that much of a boost increase from just 2mm.
Also...I'm guessing the 2mm is Diameter not circumference....
